Two products.
The full guest experience.
Guesty
Guesty handles the infrastructure of running a short-term rental, from channel management and reservations to payments and team automation. Together with Happy Guest, property managers get an end-to-end workflow that keeps guests informed and coming back.
How your Guesty account works with Happy Guest:
1. Your Guesty property listings sync automatically. No setup needed.
2. Happy Guest pulls in your confirmed bookings to generate personalized reservation links for each guest
3. Door codes are delivered at the right time based on the reservation
One link. No app. Always OTA compliant. Identical on Airbnb, Vrbo, Booking.com, and direct.
Happy Guest
Happy Guest pairs with Guesty to bring together property operations and guest experience in one connected system. Happy Guest picks up where Guesty leaves off, automating the guest experience from the moment someone books to after check out.
In under two minutes, on their phone, no app required:
1. Signs your rental agreement and house rules
2. Uploads a government-issued ID
3. Covers the protection by paying the deposit, authorizing the hold, or accepting the damage waiver, whichever you require
Then the door code releases. No completion, no code. Everything else runs itself on every reservation.

What Happy Guest users are saying
"Using Happy Guest has been a great addition to my workflow. It's made the process of getting guests to sign rental agreements seamless and professional. What I appreciate most is how clearly everything is explained to guests!"
"Happy Guest got me started when I knew absolutely nothing about the business. The mentoring and support alone is infinitely valuable. The guest portal is far more robust than a protection plan!"
"Happy Guest has been amazing for our business. I would recommend them to every PM I could."
